Message best. There are so many experimental points on this engine that nothing is for certain anymore. I can think of about 10 parts that are a first for the VG engine.

By my estimated guess I think the turbos will be fine. The actuator should pass enough gas to regulate it well even up to around 25psi. With the large exhaust side even a little passed gas will slow it down. Also I am hoping to hit around 650rwhp at 15psi so the turbo won't be at a hard to regulate level.

The exhaust manifold piping was much easier to make with just a 3 into 1 design. It is resting in the space between the engine well and the engine so a 4th runner would have complicated things a bit more. If I had more money and was more concerned with QM times, then some larger turbos with smaller exhaust sides (GT3037S's) and large HKS WG's would make the car faster. For a daily driver though I think the T04E's will do :-)

How are you guys doing? I haven't heard anything from Shawn in a while. I am not surprised, he is quite secretive about his plans and workings. He'll probably pop up out of the blue with some low-mid 10sec runs.
